Family Necklace - Customized Mother's Day Gift Idea

Family Necklace
Originally uploaded by cdnallie

Looking for that special Mother’s Day gift item? Well nothing could be more personal than my take on the “Family” necklace. For each creation, I choose a birthstone to represent mom, dad and each of the children.

Shown here was Kathy’s christmas present designed by her husband John. The large faceted blue sapphire and peridot represent mom and dad while the gem quality smaller blue sapphire briolette and red garnet marquis cut represent their son and daughter.

Of course, you choose the metal and finishing touches. This item featured loads of 24k vermeil (gold plated sterling silver) spacers and ornate goodies, but there are tons of more simplistic ways to complete the look.

Send me a quick email to get your family necklace project started. You may have missed out on Mother’s Day for 2008, but this type of thoughtful gift is welcomed by moms at any time of year. Take my word for it!
